TAUGHT BY EXPERTS
The teaching team has many years of experience in delivering courses for the public sector and it also has a strong research profile, ensuing that content is cutting-edge. Our students benefit from a range of guest speaker events, including talks from police forces, equality organisations and local government.
LINK THEORY WITH PRACTICE
A key feature of your public services degree is the link between theory and practice. Learning is frequently based on real-life data, as well as examples and case studies from public, voluntary and community organisations. This ensures that what you learn is relevant to the workplace and situations you may encounter when you graduate.
There are activities and trips as part of the course, which include team building exercises with organisations such as the armed forces and visits to the Houses of Parliament and the Senedd.
